The National Code of Practice for the Humane Shooting of Kangaroos and Wallabies for Non-commercial Purposes sets an achievable standard of humane conduct and is the minimum required of persons shooting kangaroos and wallabies for reasons other than commercial utilisation of kangaroo products (skins and meat). This Code has been produced to ensure that all persons intending to shoot free-living kangaroos or wallabies for non-commercial purposes undertake the shooting so that the animal is killed in a way that minimises pain and suffering.

This Regulation is the

for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (POCTAA)

This code applies to all persons responsible for the welfare of broiler chickens in controlled environment broiler production systems. The pre-hatched chick that is in the last half of development is also covered by this code. In controlled environment broiler production systems, broiler chickens are kept in enclosed housing and are reliant on human management for all their daily requirements.
The rearing of broiler chickens, if it is to be done well, requires both experience and the observance of high standards. Unless that work is done
well, the welfare of the birds cannot be adequately protected. This code is intended to encourage all those responsible for its implementation to adopt the
highest standard of husbandry, care and handling, to equal or exceed the minimum standards.

This
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Animal Trades) Regulation 1996
